Throne Steps

In fact, Li Chen himself knew that he was too stubborn about eliminating the remnants of the "Lone Wolf".

There are reasons for this attitude. One is to prevent "wild fires from burning endlessly, and the spring breeze blows to regenerate";

Since Akye killed the leader of the lone wolf, the whole "Black Swan" has made it clear that it is merciless towards the enemy.But after chasing the "lone wolf" for four years, even Li Chen's policy of "disarming and killing, and eliminating sparks" seems to be unknown, but the report is extremely cruel.As long as they are not trusted by Akeye, the escaped Lone Wolf members will be killed, and those who were originally Lone Wolf members will also be killed, and even the people around them—no matter what kind of people they are—may be linked together.In fact, there are not many members of the Lone Wolf, and when the lair was attacked, more than half of them were killed or injured, so they did not go to war when dealing with the rest.Usually, the "black swan" comes quietly, erases what should be erased, and then flies away quietly.If it weren't for the rumors in the aristocratic circle, Saenz might not have cared about this purge.

In fact, the news in the aristocratic circle is not complete, and the fact that the "lone wolf" was even killed made the entire Rhaetian Federation tremble. The nobles are not very concerned about the continued "lone wolf" being strangled.The so-called news is actually an after-dinner topic that occasionally heard that the old reward order of "Lone Wolf" has been dug up and liquidated, and it seems that His Highness Saenz is still very cautious in dealing with these villains.Of course, on the other hand, there are also stories like "People who have quit the 'Lone Wolf' have also been wiped out", "Innocent ordinary people have been wiped out, suspected of threatening to avenge their relatives in the Lone Wolf", "There are suspected cruel acts of massacring the village". Negative remarks, but the notoriety of the "lone wolf" and Saenz's status are superb, so it is not brainless to question whether those bloody acts are true and whether Saenz was instigated.

Some people are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of Saenz at all, and those who are qualified to speak in front of Saenz have countless minds.Regardless of whether these rumors are true or not, if someone with a heart—such as Fujalal—deliberately releases them, and jumps out to say it stupidly, wouldn’t it be a fool to use someone as a gunman?

But Saenz was aware of these rumors even if no one else mentioned them in front of him.He had personally attacked many thugs in the North, and the scenes he had seen had suffered heavy casualties, not to mention bloody rivers. In addition, his nature was indifferent and willful, and he was actually much more ruthless than he appeared on the surface.However, even Saenz, after hearing the rumors and combining with the intelligence team's report on Li Chen's daily activities, still has a little doubt about what the "black swan" is doing.After the intelligence team listed the "Black Swan" action according to his order, Saenz clearly realized that the facts were far more serious than the rumors said.

For example, Tucun is not suspected, but real.

At that time, Saenz immediately summoned Li Chen from afar, and Li Chen was not unprepared.In fact, the "Black Swan" has long been sensitive to the fact that someone is investigating their actions, but because it is Saenz's people, everyone let it go.Just as Li Chen expected, this "calling" did not yield any good results, at least he himself was punished by the contract to death for a week, and Fudexi and Akye suffered a fractured foot bone and a dislocated arm respectively.

Li Chen knew that there was no escape anyway, so he didn't bother to intercede or shirk his explanations. He came and went with only one sentence: "This village is inextricably linked to the Lone Wolf, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Lone Wolf Branch."

When Saenz suppressed the Northland, the number of casualties was actually much higher than that of the "Black Swan", and he was not angry with this number.It's just that after he confirmed the behavior of massacring the village, he became angry, and it was summer—the time when Li Chen called the "Song of the Siren" relapsed—the three "Black Swan" leaders who were the first to bear the brunt were naturally very tragic.

Saenz rarely concealed his emotional fluctuations in front of Li Chen, so Li Chen's fate was particularly tragic.If it wasn't for the housekeeper, the captain of the guard, and Xiao En who came all the way to fight the fire in turn to find something to distract Saenz, I'm afraid that Li Chen's result would have caught up with the drunken bird that Saenz tossed back then.But what was more surprising was that the housekeeper didn't seem surprised by Li Chen's "spicy heart", and even reminded Saenz of the source of the sedative medicine when he handed it to Saenz.

The source of this is still Li Chen.Back then when he was in the wolf den, Akeye "killed the enemy for a while", and killed the leader of the lone wolf before he could ask anything.Li Chen heard the situation, and in a blink of an eye, he asked someone to dissect the corpse—or analyze it, not to mention that the skin was treated with various potions to confirm whether there were invisible tattoos, and even the bones were soaked in water and burned for verification.Anyway, there was no other good news in the end, only to find that the leader of the lone wolf had also won the "Song of the Siren".As soon as Li Chen turned his head, he tested several dead people who were alone wolves, and found that most of them had a contaminated reaction.Also, the lone wolf spread the "Song of the Siren" maliciously by himself, so there is no reason why they can't smell the fragrance of flowers just because they are recruited.Since there is the possibility of group rage, there must be a solution to suppress it.Li Chen took Yanying's logistics department—that was Fudexi or the person in charge of the logistics department—to go through the alchemy information that could be verified in the Lone Wolf, and finally came up with a "Song of the Siren" Calming prescription.

As soon as the prescription came out, Li Chen immediately presented it to Saenz.Saenz belongs to the "everything depends on himself" temper, and he only uses it occasionally when he really feels unable to suppress and affects his actions.

The butler defined this prescription as something "obtained only after dissecting many corpses", so he got a glimpse of the leopard from this tube, and refreshed his understanding of Li Chen's psyche.He reminded Saenz of the source of the prescription, that is, he reminded Saenz that "Li Chen's personality has always been like this." As for how to decide, it was up to Saenz himself.

Saenz didn't know what he was thinking. The fire did stop torturing people, but he didn't say what to do next. He just led people back to the capital of the temple from Tadan.Li Chen, who was still "holding his corpse" in Tadanli, looked at the sky silently. After two days, he decided that he had been dealt with coldly, so he brought the other two "disabled people" back to the black swan.

However, Yan Ying got the news from nowhere, and took the three of them into the base camp on the way.

Xia Luo was still in the rock eagle, and when he saw the tragic trio, he became nervous and got angry directly in front of the hospital bed: "Is he sick! If it weren't for the elimination, he could live a peaceful life for a few days!"

This kid used to pretend to be a hypocritical aristocrat and admire talented seniors, but after returning from a trip to the Lone Wolf, he became gloomy and neurotic, almost without a split personality.Kaga had a headache about this, but Li Chen was more pleasing to his eyes than before, so even though Xia Luo's performance was sharp and mean, Li Chen still had a little patience to appease him.

"You think he doesn't know?" Li Chen's way of comforting Xia Luo is very special, taking the route of treating "irritability and irritability" with "yin and yang strange energy". There is a difference between yin and yang. Just because he can still think about it, he spared our lives."

If the purge is not handled properly, it will have an indelible negative impact on Saenz's image. A cruel Saenlich will never be able to ascend the throne of the pure white Patriarch.Li Chen knew this, so every time he was purged, he would always bring a reward order from the mercenary union.Tucun was an accident, but Li Chen didn't regret much in retrospect.Although the village is small, its relationship with the lone wolf is unclear, and it has earned a reputation as a "devil's lair" nearby.Even if he confronted him openly, he could still come up with a reward order for this village.Even if the reward order itself does not require the massacre of the village, but the village has been burned to the ground, can anyone drag out a corpse to prove that it is not the person on the reward order?

However, it is clear that Saenz seems to feel that this matter is still very inappropriate and has exceeded his limits, so he clearly expressed dissatisfaction with the "black swan" who made his own claims.

"The target of the purge is the lone wolf. Do you want to spread the pure white caring and love to the lone wolf?" Xia Luo sneered, "If he is so naive, I would like to see how he will be in the battle for the throne. What a fall!"

"Xia Luo, I am very glad that you will not waver in the face of the enemy, but you have to think about this matter." Li Chen also laughed, "He punished us to show that he does not approve of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, but He handles his own affairs by himself, and it is not up to others to comment; internally, it means that the matter has been exposed and must not be used for editing.”

Of course, this also includes the meaning of beating "Black Swan".But the one who was mainly beaten was himself, and Li Chen didn't intend to explain.

Xia Luo doubted: "Really? Is this your own imagination or is it really his intention?"

Li Chen didn't answer him directly: "Use your brain, Xia Luo. If that's not what he meant, how could I be picked up by Yanying?"

Xia Luo retorted: "It was my proposal to pick you up!"

Li Chen sneered: "How did you know that I was injured? Can you pass the news of Saenz's disapproval from Tadan to Yanying?"

Xia Luo was speechless for a moment, he really felt that the brain circuits of Li Chen and that Saenz were too complicated.After thinking about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong again: "Wait a minute. But the whole picture of Qing Qing has not been made public, so he punished you directly. Isn't it a sign of tacit acceptance of these things?"

"He's just punishing his subordinates. Who dares to ask him if it's because of the Lone Wolf?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "And anyway, he already knows about it, so we don't have to bother to hide it from him in the future. .”

Xia Luo was taken aback for a moment: "You mean, he nodded to clear up this matter?"

"So what if you don't nod?" Li Chen said with a low smile, "Kill me?"

Xia Luo also laughed: "That's right. Unless you kill me, don't make me give up killing those villains."

Li Chen secretly laughed.One of his subordinates, Akye, Fudexi, and Xia Luo, are all guys who want to cut the lone wolf into pieces.It is really difficult for the "black swan" to give up the lone wolf.Fortunately, Saenz left immediately after the lesson, and did not say anything about banning this matter in the future, otherwise he would really have to cover it up secretly.

So the three leaders of the "Black Swan" were beaten up by Saenz, and the purge continued, more openly and recklessly than before.Li Chen took Saenz's approval as his own, and it was not uncommon for him to report to Saenz in advance every time to be good, and only let Saenz make preparations before major events.However, since they took the reward order to accept the prize after each time, people really had nothing else to say besides clapping their hands.

After four years of exterminating the "lone wolf", there are very few people who have been eliminated, and the news of the black swan's confrontation with the lone wolf is getting less and less.Saenz was refreshed by this group of people, and when he heard similar news, he waited and watched in silence, rarely intervening; after a long time, he was too lazy to use this matter to argue with Li Chen.Li Chen broke through his bottom line again and again, and he didn't know when it would be a head. Anyway, when he really couldn't bear it, he could just shoot him to death. Saenz's attitude can be regarded as broken.

But even though he indulged the child to this extent, Li Chen still offended him on the same thing.

During the inauguration ceremony of the temple, Li Chen ran away without saying a word.Originally, I planned to let the child slip around in front of the color of sea blue and silver and vermilion, but now it's all useless!

Facing the explanation of "Li Chen said that he will bring you a surprise" from the left-behind "Black Swan", Saenz had only one thought.

——When the child comes back, he must be beaten to death.
